ID my Monti?

[paddyob]

Used a Pentax W90 for these. Dunked my hand in and used the macro.

Was given to me as a Poker Star... but I think it is a Sunset Monti.

Anyone?

Sorry for three pics. But I wanted to. :razz:

Looks more like a pokerstar than a sunset to me.

My bet is that it is a Rainbow Monti. Based upon the Blue base and the colour of the polyps.

A Sunset Monti has a Orange base. Such as below.

Sorry Rainbow is what I meant to say.

I was looking at them earlier and jumbled.

Rainbow monti.

It's probably a rainbow (one of the many montis labelled "rainbow") but could easily be a pokerstar. Montis in particular can and will shift colour depending on lighting conditions. I once had a pokerstar that changed to look like a rainbow. The tell tale sign of a "true" rainbow is that the polyps tend to change colour with time rather than lighting.

This one started out blue base and green polyps.... then, as you describe, changed into the three colors. Over about a year.
